How to See the Distance Between Cars at Night?

[SanDallas]

At night, the distance between cars can be observed through the windshield and rearview mirror. The specific methods are as follows: Through the windshield: Observe the bumper of the car in front. When the upper edge of the bumper is visible, the distance between the two cars is about 1 meter. When the lower edge of the bumper is visible, the distance is about 2 meters. If the rear tire's lower edge of the car in front is visible, the distance is approximately 3 meters. Through the rearview mirror: When observing the car behind, if the image of the rear car occupies the entire rearview mirror, the distance is about 3 meters. If the image occupies two-thirds of the rearview mirror, the distance is about 5 meters. If it occupies one-third of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 12 meters. Driving at night with limited visibility may lead to unexpected incidents. If the following distance is too close, it may not allow enough time to react to sudden events. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the following distance appropriately to prevent collisions between cars.
